Magnesium and calcium are fundamental nutrients that need to be in balance with each other in order for you to fully experience good health. Their importance on a cellular level is critical. Calcium and magnesium are like opposite sides of a coin. Natural Vitality Natural Calm Raspberry-Lemon Flavor 16 oz. Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. Calcium is needed for blood clotting, but magnesium keeps the blood flowing freely.

Calcium & Magnesium:
A Matter of Balance
You experience the tensing (calcium) and relaxing (magnesium) interaction of these two elements each time your heart beats, when you feel your pulse, and every time you breathe. Natural Vitality Natural Calm Raspberry-Lemon Flavor 16 oz.

When we are under stress, our cells-which in their resting state contain magnesium-go through a change. Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the calcium level becomes high. Natural Vitality Natural Calm Raspberry-Lemon Flavor 16 oz. This is the action state in which a muscle cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its resting, relaxed state. Think of it as an on-off switch. The "off" is magnesium and the "on" is calcium.

But what happens to a cell that is not in balance-where the magnesium level in the body is deficient?

In simple terms, the "off" switch doesn't fully turn off. That means calcium can continuously leak into the cells and stimulate cell activity (the "on" switch). The result is stress accompanied by one or more of the magnesium deficiency symptoms. Natural Vitality Natural Calm Raspberry-Lemon Flavor 16 oz.

Calcium-Too Much of a Good Thing?
Calcium deficiency can be a serious issue. Natural Vitality Natural Calm Raspberry-Lemon Flavor 16 oz. It is an important nutrient your body needs every day, but too much calcium can also be a problem.

The recommended adequate intake of calcium according to the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, is 1,000 mg for adults aged 19-50 and 1,200 mg for 51 plus. There are many adults who are taking 1,200-1,500 mg of supplemental calcium in addition to their dietary intake of calcium (an 8 oz cup of low-fat fruit yogurt contains 345 mg of calcium and one cup of nonfat milk contains 306 mg). Unassimilated calcium can end up in the soft tissues of the body where it deposits and hardens (calcifies) or in the urine where it may result in kidney stones. Natural Vitality Natural Calm Raspberry-Lemon Flavor 16 oz.

Unless calcium and magnesium are properly balanced, magnesium becomes depleted (too much calcium can itself deplete magnesium levels). This can result in an inability to quickly recover from stress and can itself be a source of stress.24.5738.95
